There are a few other redundant Q's on the Q&A list like the Evidence Bags.
Maybe it should be worded as:
What reaction did you have for the Evidence Bags and are they being adopted by any Criminal agencies that you can mention.It might help being in interest if an agency like the FBI has adopted them as the DeFacto Standard to be used.

Schwabie-It's kinda hard to believe unless they were an MM,but if he got it then good for him.No one I know of has been able to get shares at .0001 .
I wonder if it will ever go back to .0003 now. August should be interesting.
This is the longest it has ever been at .0001 and it does not look as though Vol. is going to pick up till the co. gets serious about propping up the price.

maybe if we all go to the local police station and ask if they ever heard of the bags, maybe we can manualy push it to police depts???!! Maybe anyone know someone that is a police officer or deputy sherrif? See what they would think if they had one of these bags, would that help them in cases.... I dont know food for thought. Hell I might apply for a job and work their marketing section and get them a bit more noticed

NYC Tunnels may be under attack at some point.I cannot see how these types of incidents do not push the secttor through the roof along with this issue.
Will take time,but it should start to effect these issues again.

What I see is that if they had used them in the OJ case they might have convicted that Pr ick of murder as Van Adder the Det. that did not file his evidence was suspect due to the samples becoming tainted if I remember correctly.How and why Barry Seckt ever took OJ as a client baffles me as he was dead guilty IMO ,but Barry Sheckt took him as a client and he was guilty as sin.
The Evidence Bags would pretect thse that are unscrupulous Detectives from switching evidence and I really do not trust all law enforcement professionals.They are not perfect and have been known to use their positions to set innocent peoplle people up. The Evidence Bags would be one way to ensure one step in the process is protected.
Like I said the cos. job is to promote them.We are investors that have given our trust to them to promote them to the agencies.
If they would PR just one dept. that has adopted them as the standard to be used against Evidence tampweing then this might go to the penny level ,but they are and will not because they for some reason are happy with this pps level.
The Warrants are to be executed at the .001 level and they should want to atleast get it to that level in order to get that financial support,but they are not doing anything in the way of promotion of their products through PR's to get investor intrest. I cannot understand that. The Revs are good,the prdts. are good,but contractual PR's are zero.That does not help to promote interest in the issue.
With the news involving HL Sec. and Terror this should be going up not down.It' also up to the co. to generate interest in the cos. shares.NONE that I can see now.
Each day Vol. sinks. and the pps is not loooking better.

JIF, a couple of questions to ask: 1. Have Shupin or Pellegrino purchased any shares of the company on their own? 2. Not all sales are high security i.e tamperproof bags, therefore it would not compromise the security of a company to announce a sales contract. Why don't they ever inform the shareholders about significant sales contracts?

Here's a question to ask them: "In one years time, why did your o/s go from 319 million to 7.8 billion"? If they tell you r & d and product development, ask them to show the exact breakdown because that kind of money doesn't show up in the filings.

JIF, 2 more questions: 1. In Sept 2005, Tony addressed the Yale Club in NYC, and in his speech, twice mentioned that they are actively discussing merger or aquisition with other companies, almost daily. What has resulted from these talks? 2.What is the reason DDSI continues to be compliant with regards to filing with the SEC? Is it because it is required for government contracts, or because they plan to move to a higher exchange?

Most cos. do not buy their own issue for some reason so it does not surprise me here,but with their claims of great revs and increasing biz you would think they would be getting some.
In the 10-Q they mention the option of doing so and they also mention something about being rewarded stock I think.
Anyway I think there is a chance of a runup if they implement a PR program. Right now their PR's are having zero effect of getting interest generated in this issue.
I never heard that Shupin spoke at the Yale CLub in NYC ,but that you would think would bring Biz from those in HL Sec. and boost the stock price up.
Right now it is making records for being at .0001-.0002 each passing day.August will be a telling month.
ANother thing is that when someone called the co. they were told they were very busy.Hopefully we see that translated to the bottomline where growth is concerned with the issue.
I hope at some point it moves to the .001 level,but that is a dream.BKMP did it with PR's and with solid PR Contracts.DDSI can turnarond also.
They certainly have the prdts. to make it happen and this is the time when HL Security is on the minds of many in the US.

Well, of course, anybody can lie to anybody else... and an experienced reporter calling someone is, granted, a bit different than someone untrained calling up. Still, you have a sense of when folks are lying, I'm sure, right? You ask questions of doctors, mechanics, contractors...no difference, really. And when the TA's gagged, that's all you can do, anyway.
But mainly, for really serious conversaations, by your calling, you get to "frame" the conversation. So answers to your end questions either contradict earlier answers or they don't... answers either support previously gathered evidence, or they don't... make sense?
"Anyway I think there is a chance of a runup if they implement a PR program. Right now their PR's are having zero effect of getting interest generated in this issue."
It is obvious that there have been no PRs in recent times & there are no facts to suggest 'no' increasing biz, as you referenced in your opening line.
So for now, I believe DDSI is 'status quo'. IOWs, what has transpired via PRs are real facts! To suggest more or lack of, is artificial, when referencing facts already transpired.
To dream or not to dream that DDSI will hit $.001, is self evident that you yourself are not relying upon facts!
Turnaround is also an artificial conclusion...as you yourself have stated......"Right now it is making records for being at .0001-.0002 each passing day". What can DDSI 'turnaround' from? IOWs. when was it and where was it, that DDSI could trun around from and go back to?

If itgets back to the .0005 pps I'll be surprised and happy so I can get out.
I don't think we have a chance now unless the co. puts out some PR's to get interest generated.
They have the prdts.,but they created this to make them Fat not their shareholders.
Dilution via Debenture is far different than dilution via 'needed cash'.
Behind a debenture as with 'BKMP', the CD holder must be convinced that the stock will rise inorder to justify exercising the clause to convert.
The last PR DDSI put out was a substantial one and fluff PRs for flippers is silly. NO CEO, including Sandy Winick of BKMP will feed that nasty little bilking institution.
So, wait for meat & potatoe PRs and invest or liquidate as you see fit.

I think or thought the co. had great SOTA"State Of The Art" prdts. and that is why invested in this co..
Do or die I am in and just wish they would show they are on their investors side also by putting something substantial for news out there. Weather it's adoption of the Evidence Bags by a Federal Source or just that they are workig with someone that shall provide substantial revs for yrs. to come,but there has not been anything but meeting and trade shows which never produce much for investor interest.
Maybe Tuesday and beyond we shall see something that has substance said.
I am going to hang with them as it would be foolhardy at this time to give in. ------------ So what you are saying is that the CD Conversion people have much to worry about also as they are waiting to see the issue move up higher also?
Well if that is the case there has to those that are holding more shares then myself.
I hope the co. suvives as most times cos. with gov't connections find ways to get bailed out,but the Dilution is one thing which I know cncerns not only myself ,but Shupin also.
Will be nteresting to see what they have to say Tuesday.
Let the power be with us to drive this up and bing in serious attention of the sideline investors.

***************************** Basic Pilot: A Clear and Reliable Way to Verify Employment Eligibility "Part of a comprehensive immigration plan is to give employers the tools necessary to determine whether or not the workers they're looking for are here legally in America. And we've got such a plan - Basic Pilot, it's called. It's working."
- President George W. Bush, 7/5/06
On July 5, 2006, President Bush Visited A Dunkin' Donuts Store To Highlight The Basic Pilot Program And The Need For Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Dunkin' Brands Inc. recently announced it will require all of its franchisees to participate in the Basic Pilot program, which helps employers verify employment eligibility. Dunkin' Brands voluntarily signed up for the program because of the difficulty employers face when trying to screen the work eligibility of new hires.
The Basic Pilot Program Is Helping Businesses Comply With The Law. Basic Pilot is a voluntary, online verification system that allows employers to confirm the eligibility of new hires by checking the personal information they provide against Federal databases.
When President Bush Took Office, Basic Pilot Was Available In Only Six States, And Today It Is Available Nationwide.
President Bush Has Called On Congress To Make Basic Pilot Mandatory And Provide The Department Of Homeland Security (DHS) With The Funding And Authority To Make Sure It Is An Effective Tool To Prevent The Hiring Of Illegal Workers. Basic Pilot is still optional, and most employers do not participate. Both the House and Senate immigration bills would require employers to use Basic Pilot. The President's FY07 budget requests $111 million to expand Basic Pilot for more employers to make use of the program. President Bush Is Committed To Comprehensive Immigration Reform
All Elements Of Immigration Reform Must Be Addressed Together. The five objectives of comprehensive immigration reform are securing our borders, creating a temporary worker program, making it easier for employers to verify employment eligibility and continuing to hold them to account for the legal status of workers they hire, dealing with the millions of illegal immigrants who are already here, and honoring the great American tradition of the melting pot.
President Bush Is Continuing To Work With Congress To Produce A Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill. The House started this process by passing a bill that focuses on border security and interior enforcement. The Senate has passed a comprehensive bill that also includes a temporary worker program and a plan to resolve the status of illegal immigrants who are already in our country. Working out the differences between the House and Senate bills will require effort and compromise on both sides. Yet the difficulty of this task is no excuse for avoiding it. Comprehensive Immigration Reform Must Hold Employers To Account For The Workers They Hire
Funding For Immigration Enforcement Has Increased By 42 Percent Since The President Took Office.
Last Year, The President Signed A Bill Doubling Federal Resources For Worksite Enforcement. The Administration's FY07 budget request seeks $41.7 million in new funds and 171 additional agents to strengthen Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) worksite enforcement efforts. To Help Combat Document Fraud, President Bush Has Proposed The Creation Of A New Identification Card For Every Legal Foreign Worker. This card should use biometric technology, such as digital fingerprints, to help make it tamper-proof. With a tamper-proof card, American employers would know that a foreign job applicant is who he says he is - and is in our country legally. A tamper-proof card would be a vital tool to enforce the law, and it must be part of any comprehensive immigration reform.
Improving Enforcement Of Our Immigration Laws Also Requires Stiffening The Penalties For Violating Those Laws. President Bush proposes to increase penalties for employers who violate the law - and to make fines even larger for employers who repeatedly violate the law. DHS Recently Proposed Its "No-Match" Regulation To Clarify Employers' Obligations In Resolving Questions Regarding Employment Eligibility And To Help The Government Crack Down On Those Employers Who Knowingly Hire Illegal Workers. Millions of Social Security numbers provided by employers do not match the information in the Social Security Administration's (SSA) databases. In some cases when an employer has ten or more employees with inaccurate information, the SSA sends the employer a "no-match" letter. DHS's proposed "no-match" regulation outlines clear steps that employers can take in reaction to these letters. This regulation would also create a safe harbor for employers who undertake good faith efforts to verify their employees' eligibility.
Comprehensive Immigration Reform Must Create A Temporary Worker Program That Helps Us Secure The Border
A Temporary Worker Program Would Create A Legal Path For Foreign Workers To Enter Our Country In An Orderly Way, For A Limited Period Of Time. A temporary worker program would add to our security by making certain we know who is in our country and why they are here.
A Temporary Worker Program Would Meet The Legitimate Needs Of American Employers, And It Would Give Honest Immigrants A Way To Provide For Their Families While Respecting The Law.
The Bush Administration's Worksite Enforcement Efforts
ICE Has Adopted An Aggressive Approach Toward Cracking Down On Employers Who Knowingly Hire Illegal Aliens. ICE has replaced the old system of administrative hearings and fines with a much tougher combination of criminal prosecutions and asset forfeitures. ICE is conducting far more criminal investigations than the former Immigration and Naturalization Service, which tended to rely on administrative fines as a sanction.
Arrests For Criminal Violations Brought In Worksite Enforcement Actions - The Most Effective Means Of Enforcement And Best Measure Of ICE's New Approach - Have Increased Significantly. These criminal arrests have increased from 24 in FY99, to 160 in FY04, to 176 in FY05, and to a record 382 so far this fiscal year. The number of indictments and criminal convictions has also increased.
In April, ICE Carried Out The Largest Single Worksite Enforcement Action Ever Taken Against An Employer. Seven current and former managers of IFCO Systems North America were charged with harboring aliens and document fraud, and 1,187 unlawfully employed illegal aliens were arrested.
From October 2005 Through March 2006, ICE Arrested More Than 2,100 Unlawfully Employed Illegal Aliens As A Result Of Worksite Enforcement Investigations. ICE also seized millions of dollars in cash and assets from employers.
Last Year, Federal Agents Completed Operation Rollback, Which Resulted In The Largest Worksite Enforcement Penalty In U.S. History. Operation Rollback also resulted in the arrest of hundreds of illegal immigrants and criminal convictions against a dozen employers. The $15 million settlement and forfeiture resulting from Operation Rollback is greater than the combined sum of all administrative fines from the previous eight years. DHS Is Focusing Enforcement Efforts On Locating And Removing Criminal Aliens, Building Strong Worksite Compliance Programs To Deter Illegal Employment, And Uprooting The Criminal Infrastructure That Supports Illegal Migration.
In May And June, ICE Apprehended More Than 2,100 Criminal Aliens, Gang Members, Fugitives, And Other Immigration Violators In A Nationwide Interior Enforcement Operation Dubbed "Operation Return To Sender." Among the roughly 2,179 individuals arrested in the operation, roughly half had criminal records for crimes that ranged from sexual assault of a minor to assault with a deadly weapon. Roughly 367 of the arrested aliens were members or associates of violent street gangs and 640 were fugitive aliens who had been issued final orders of removal by an immigration judge but failed to comply.
Last Week, ICE Arrested 22 Illegal Alien Workers From An Engineering Company That Provides Contract Services To Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base. According to investigators, the majority of the company's unauthorized workers used fraudulent social security and alien registration numbers to complete the required forms to obtain their jobs. While there is no evidence that any of the employees had terrorist ties, unauthorized workers with access to security sensitive sites are potentially vulnerable to exploitation by terrorists, smugglers, traffickers, or other criminals.
Since March 2003, ICE Fugitive Operations Teams Have Arrested More Than 42,000 Aliens, 31,000 Of Which Were Fugitives.
Since May 2002, An ICE Document And Benefit Fraud Task Force Initiative Targeting The Washington, DC, Area, Operation Card Shark, Has Shut Down Seven Fraudulent Document "Mills," Seized Approximately 10,000 Documents With An Estimated Value Of Over $1 Million, Apprehended 195 Aliens, And Prosecuted 60 Individuals.
Since 2001, The Number Of ICE Immigration Investigators Has Increased By 25 Percent.
ICE Has Expanded Its Fugitive Operations Teams From 35 To 52 In 2006, And The President's FY07 Budget Seeks Funding To Increase That Number To A Total Of 70 Teams.

There are many manfs. of Tamperproof cards and with this co. not exactly being a PR machine we'll never know who the manf is unless the co. itself says it is.
One thing that is real hard is that this is a Security co..So they really do not wish to say what and who they arer doing biuz with.As the 1st Prez Bush would have said"would'nt be prudent" but actually he never said that Dana Carvey made that up I think.
Anyway if the co. is going to have something real going I wish they would let the outside world know about it. We little investors suffer due to Non-Disclosure because it does not attract market attention.
Maybe Tuesday they will drop a bombshell of great news that will show the market that they are going to be big!
They are a small co. actually!I wonder if they have it go real big? That is the question? It takes great mgmt.,great sales agents,big contracts and good PR's I think to tkae a co. to the level of a market contender. Having the sector on fire would be help also.
Anyway I hope we get some good news tuesday as I think this co. is worth more then .0001 .I wish the market thought so also. After all this is suppose to be the yr. of the turnaround and they have like 60 prdts. they sell any of which could be a big winner.That is what I hope for.
A few weeks ago someone called the co. and they said they were very busy.I hope that equates into very busy as they have a winning prdt. that is in high demand and that sales are going to skyrocket,but you do not know with this co..

GL!
The comforatble position of DDSI (right now) cannot be overstated in this field. A company very similar to DDSI was IDCO. Unfortunately, they IMO were way over valued and they now seem to still be paying the price. In this field of counter intelligence IMO..it is better to start low and slow and work up instead of hyped up and falling on your buns.
As the world of counter intelligence purviews the companies out there..they will surely take note of who fell from grace already and who is perculating at the starting line..especially when dealing with smaller cap companies. IDCO has taken a serious fall and they have passed several international field tests well. Yet they continue to fall...why?
In my books...DDSI is playing it very very conservatively...no fluff PRs etc etc. At this point, its make or break....the best technique to go forward is slow.
Hold and forget at $.0002...................its a good 'risk' IMHO.

The CEO I imagine has nothing to hide and might have something good to say if he has agreed to a Q&A session.
I cannot imagine they did not have a game plan when aquireing CGM and knew that the road might have potholes,but woulld be able to get to profitability.
I hope they have good news soon and I think they are being cautious rather than not having contracts they could announce.They are a security co. and they could be creative in their PR releases without saying who they have made deals with as to keep from breaching their confidentiality rules. No fluff PR's. They do buy Fluff Promptionals,why not give contractual PR's?
They have more then just their Their ID Cards.They have 56 prdts. in CGM's lineup alone.
Their Evidence Bags were a great idea and if they get accepted as the standard to be used in Law Enforcement then this could rocket ,but they do need to put sme PR's out there indtead of doing nothing to support their Investors.
Looking through their PR's I have not seen any contractual PR's in yrs..You have to do a search just to find one and I think they go back 4yrs. or so.
That's just my opinion and I hope the can generate some investor interest.
I also hope they have some good thing to say Tuesday.

FYI - Just sent this to Tony at 9:40am, Monday, July 10
Tony,
How are you? I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to submit to you the most updated list of questions. For the purpose of tomorrow’s Q&A at 12pm, please feel free to add these to your list of possible discussion points.
Thank you again for agreeing to meet with us via the www.allstocks.com web forum. We are very exited about it. Please email me if you have any problems logging in (note: I sent log-in instructions late last week via email).
Questions updated 07.10.06
1. What's your position on an R/S? 2. Where do you see the company growing in the next 12-18 months? 3. Do you have any deals/ contracts in the works? 4. Will you be reducing the O/S any time soon? 5. Can we be kept more in the loop with what is going on with the company more frequently via PR's? 6. Any chance you would redo the DDSI web site to look more like CGM? 7. How is turn over in your company? 8. How has the acquisition played out with CGM and did you have any culture conflicts/shocks? 9. How many employees do you have today? 10. Any new deals on the horizon/from the expo? 11. You had a great quarter in Q1. Should we expect another great 10Q for Q2? 12. You had a great 10Q for Q1. Why don't you think the pps moved higher? Was it because of the CD's? 13. Do you think the stock is correctly priced at .0002? Where do you think it should be? 14. If you generate enough revenues, do you plan to retire shares or do a stock buyback to minimize the float? That would certainly bring the value of the shares up and bring attention to the stock? 15. What is the reaction to the new Evidence Tamperproof Bags? Did they win the crowd at the Expo? 16. Can you tell us more about further R&D projects going on? 17. Has there been any interest from the government for products concerning the Tamperproof ID's or any other security products that the co. carries since the Bills Congress has initiated concerning Port & Border Security? 18. What is the approximate number of CD's that are slated to be retired in the coming year? We are all hoping that period is over! 19. Any chance you might initiative a stock buy back program, and, might that help get the stock off the ground? 20. What product or products do you sell to WAL-Mart?
Respectfully xxx

So, we should all open with a "hello and welcome" post. Then, we can ask all of our questions. I imagine the post will get lots of questions, but he has most of them here in our "20 questions list" so that's a good thing.
